McDonald reached the main draw of the Athens competition thanks to his successful qualifying game. The 30-year-old American scored two strong-willed wins in three sets, first over Marco Trungelliti and then over Shintaro Mochizuki. McKenzie has eight wins and five losses on indoor hard court this season. The former 37th racket of the world now ranks 110th in the world ranking.

2.25Tip and bets
McDonald has not played a high-quality game for a long time - he managed to beat Trungelliti and Mochizuki with great difficulty in qualifying. Etcheverry is definitely a higher level than the other two, and therefore the upcoming match will be more difficult for Mackenzie. Moreover, we believe that he is unlikely to be able to pass the Argentine.
Our prediction is that Etcheverry will win by a factor of 1.88
